The Office of Admissions identified that you met important admission criteria for AUM. You were selected to participate in this program that serves conditionally admitted students.

Use this chart to find requirements for AUM admission:

Students complete the Bridge Program by earning a minimum grade of C in required college level English, Math and UNIV 1000 (college success) courses. These courses count toward a student’s graduation requirements. Upon earning these minimum grades, Bridge students will be fully admitted AUM students.

Students have one year to complete the Bridge Program by earning a minimum grade of C in English, Math and UNIV 1000 (required college success course).

Apply for Admission at AUM – If you apply for regular admission, you are considered for our Bridge Program. (No separate application is required.)

A student’s admission status may be reviewed if additional credentials are submitted. If you have an ACT composite score of 18 (with a minimum unweighted 2.3 high school GPA) that you have not submitted, you may submit that to [email protected] and ask for your status to be reevaluated. If you raise your high school unweighted GPA to 3.0, your status may be reevaluated, based on submission of your official high school transcript.

Students who do not complete the Bridge Program should enroll in an accredited institution and earn 24 credit hours, to re-apply to AUM. The courses completed elsewhere must include one college-level English course and one college-level math course, if those credits were not earned at AUM.

The Bridge Program manager’s office is part of the WASC, the Warhawk Academic Success Center, on the second floor of the Library.

Once you’ve been accepted into the Bridge Program, you will receive a Bridge Contract with your acceptance letter. Please return a signed copy of your contract to the Bridge Program Manager, as indicated on the contract.

AUM students register for classes during their Orientation. Please sign up for your Orientation session here.

Your eligibility for financial is determined when you complete an application for financial aid through the traditional FAFSA processes. The FAFSA application decides aid for the academic year, including fall, spring and summer terms.

If you are starting the Bridge program in the summer term, you will need to complete two FAFSAs, one for the current academic year, to request aid for the summer, and a second one for the upcoming academic year, for fall and spring aid.
